A Campus Safety officer was
assaulted and three students hospitalized due to drug and alcohol
complications during and after the
annual Mona Kai dance on Saturday, May 1. A student attending
Mona Kai threw a clump of wet
sand at a Campus Safety officer
which resulted in the dance closing about 30 minutes earlier than
scheduled, according to Asst.
Chief of Campus Safety John
Lewis.
Two students were hospitalized for alcohol over-consumption the night ofthe event, and one
student was hospitalized the fol
lowing day for memory loss induced by L.S.D., which was ingested the night of Mona Kai.
"When the situation deteriorates to the point where officers
are being assaulted, it's pretty clear
that something drastic needs to be
done," Lewis said. The student
suspected of throwing the sand
was escorted from the event.
The two students hospitalized
for alcohol over-consumption
were taken to Whittier Presbyterian Hospital. The first student
was escorted by ambulance from
the event at 11:53 p.m. The second student was removed from
Harris Residence Hall at 1:14 a.m.
According to Lewis, the individual "was discovered passed out in
the shower."
A third student was hospitalized at 4:21 p.m. on Sunday, May
